... California traffic for about 30 minutes until we clear the city and wind up in more sane driving areas. Out on route 1 running down the coast, the weather has turned a bit foul. While no rain, a cold front has come in. Temperatures have dropped into the lower to mid 50's and the wind is blowing 25-35 mph constantly with gusts to over 50 mph.
